Build & Deploy

Build your mini-apps quickly - create an app, add pages, add components, add styles, add interactions. Supported interactions include: clicks, hover, scrolling, value changes, on component create, on component destroy events. Supported components include text inputs, select menus, range inputs, toggle switches, images, text containers, and links.

Implement your app's logic and handle incoming requests (POST, GET, PUT, DELETE) with the Logic Editor. Parse and transform data and create request response using Flex code. To learn more about Flex code, see the documentation here.

Quickly deploy your mini-app by pressing Publish, or test your mini-app in development by pressing Save and use the Live Preview. Each mini-app can be accessed with a permalink, the link can be used for submissions to app-stores.
